Warrington and Cheshire are NOT in Greater Manchester. They're in, er, Warrington and Cheshire. The councils in Greater Manchester do get on most of the time and help each other out, but there have been some ALMIGHTY flounces from time to time when two of them disagree. Also, Manchester...

Yes. The Labour MP Hazel Blears must have been WELL ANNOYED with the Labour-controlled Manchester City Council...

God yes. I work in the same office as her, and recently I ran into her in the BBC bike sheds. In her CYCLING gear :love::love::love::love::love: Susannah Reid is pretty tasty, as is Jenny Scott off the Daily Politics. And I'd do Fiona Bruce. It's a big NO to Kaplinsky and Silverton, though...

Cor -- if anyone objects to that (and they won't, because they're northern and they LIKE sport there) then they'll have a conflict-of-interest field day...

If it's anything like the last Falmer decision, it'll be when the courier arrives with the decision documents at Donne Mileham and Haddock. So normal office opening hours, I'd have thought.

Am I the only one whose stomach has just leapt a bit? I'm suddenly a bit less optimistic than I was. Dunno why. Shitting hell.

I live round the corner from where Harry Roberts killed three coppers in 1966. I'm not sure that that counts.

Sign the Alan Johnston petition.

COME ON TIM not really

Thanks CCider, on behalf of all of us currently at work.

I'm guessing a July 7th announcement (it's the Friday before the deadline, which is a Monday). Ruth Kelly has worked with Gordon Brown before, so I doubt she'll be frozen out. There are lots of suggestions about a Whitehall shakeup, with different bits of government (including the notoriously...

Interesting that most Labour members (yes OK, and trade unionists) voted first choice for Cruddas, who was far and away the least Blairite. Fewest of them voted for Hazel Blears, who was "unremittingly new Labour" in her words, and the most Blairite.

The only ID I provided to get my a provisional licence was my NUS card from sixth form college. I could have bought one of those for about a fiver.

Saw the other thread and felt left out cos I haven't got any kids. I managed to get my dad prosecuted for TV licence evasion. Picture the scene when the licence inspector woman knocks on the door. Her: "Hello Mr Ofpevenseybay, why haven't you got a TV licence?" Him: "Because we haven't got a...

It could be some ropey radio journalists preparing "reaction" material for the Falmer decision -- with instant "yes" and "no" voxpops ready to go. However, it's a bit of a rubbish way of doing it. If it actually is a "no" -- which it won't be -- then our emotions will be somewhat different, I...

Er, can you think of a better way to start an article about the Albion and its players?

Every day I become more and more convinced that this would be a good idea. However, I think it would be hard to make it a chavs-only thing. I certainly wouldn't want to do it!

Yes but it turns into HEAT and LIGHT and KINETIC energy, innert? Most of the USB devices in a catalogue I've just looked in run off twelve volts. If you plug your device into the mains using an adapter it will probably use twelve volts. It's always much quicker charging my iPod with the mains...

Posted by: Mandy, brighton on 10:10am today I am james' sister and there's no need to bring our Dad into it, and James isn't a loser he can just be a **** sometimes just like a lot of other people, none of us are saints!!!!!! :D :D :D :D Seriously, though -- a TV company which didn't hand this...
